“Be in peace being unprecedented”
Powerful. Terrifying. Empowering.
Depending on your state of mind it can be any one of these. Why is being unprecedented so daunting? Because when you’re unprecedented you don’t have a model to follow or an outline to trace. You have to own the uncertainty in front of you before stepping directly into it with everything you have. That’s not a small step for any human including you.
But this phrase also lays to rest to the inclination we have to shrink away from the unprecedented. When we cannot see that someone has gone before us and laid the way to success it can be daunting. As I think through history so many of the greatest men and women were entirely unprecedented people. It should give us peace to share that title with them.
Yet if you truly embrace it you’ll be left with a power no one else can take. When you’re ok being unprecedented you defeat doubt. Defeating doubt doesn’t mean you win have future battles with it. Oh no lol. It means you’ve equipped yourself with the ultimate weapon against it: fearlessness. You have already taken the step into creating a space no one made before you. When doubt tries to slow you down look back to those unprecedented women and men before you. Their peace with being unprecedented is why today you can tap into that same peace.
So even though being unprecedented can be daunting we should be at peace with it. History has precedent for making the unprecedented wildly successful.
